Meh. She's still a "secret" party member that you're very unlikely to accidentally unlock on a good run.

This is just letting experienced forum-rrading players recruit her a bit more easily.

It was probably closer to $30, but a squeezy poop claw to clean up after my dog. Works so much better than a shovel.

Ukraine is attacking military targets. That's the big difference here.

used to alert the rider that the software has overridden user input

I think this is the whole point. Riders were asking more of the boards than the boards could do, and when the board was unable to comply the rider would lose their balance. Haptic feedback tells the rider "nah, not doing that" so they're aware the board isn't going to do the thing and can adjust their balance accordingly.

“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”

I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can't rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.

I'd hate to miss out on my $0.86

I had cats and a fish pond. Each cat tried catching the fish exactly once, ever.

My dad (silent generation): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and be able to own a house and support a stay-at-home wife and kids. I dunno how you kids make it.

Me (gen X): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and afford rent and food. I dunno how you kids make it.

I'm not sure when the guy in the comic was born. Medieval times maybe? Because economic conditions for working class folks have been getting steadily worse for the entire lifespan of everyone alive today, at least in the US.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand... I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you've never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

Article: The phrase "Rich men north of Richmond" is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope

The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Source for quote:

Calling everything racist isn't helpful. This song is a poor man's cry for economic justice, and instead of saying "yeah, that's the 1% we've been complaining about, come over to our side," the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.

Metal AF

Mind you, I'm not putting my fingers near that thing, but I like it from over here.

Once upon a time, Republican leadership were smart but evil people who fed lies to their base but understood that they were lying. Since they weren't actually delusional, they could choose the most politically useful lies and abandon the ones that didn't poll well.

Enough people believed their lies that the new generation of Republicans are True Believers. They've lost the ability to tailor their message to the political climate because it's no longer seen as just a bunch of crap to please the base, but TRUTH. Except that it's not actually true, so their policies fail.

This is the inevitable result of governing through falsehood. Objective reality can not be gaslit, and abandoning it never works out well long-term.

Let’s keep it civil

Oh, in that case I don't have a comment on the American healthcare system.

I wouldn't call seven million murdered corpses "rubbish," but I guess we already knew how much Stalin valued his people.

Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.

I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.
